Vintage handbags represent more then history; they are timeless capsules that bring us back to the golden age of movie stars and fashion.  A vintage purse symbolizes an era, and captures a moment in design history.  Quality handbags from previous eras are still available today and have become an increasingly popular accessory choice.

During the 1930’s the smartly dressed woman would have several handbags.  She would have a purse for the afternoon, one for traveling, one for evenings out on the town, and for Sunday church.  The materials of these purses were often made of…  Read more »

Did you ever wonder which colors look best on you?  Or, have you ever wondered why some people look great in a certain color and others look awful in that same outfit?  Well, in 1926 a colorist named, Johannes Itten developed what became known as the, “Seasons of Color.”  Litten believed we as humans gravitate to a particular depending on what our true inner self is.  He developed a system and many years later the fashion industry applied these principles to the items we wear.

The term, “replica designer handbags” seems to be a paradox.  The definition of a paradox is,

1. a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.

2. a self-contradictory and false proposition.

3. any person, thing, or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature.

4.an opinion or statement contrary to commonly accepted opinion. (1)

The main problem with buying this type of handbag is only if you are not aware it is a copy.  However, if you know what you are purchasing, a replica handbag makes a lot of sense.

It is common knowledge that designer purses are expensive.  That is part of the allure for some consumers.  So, price becomes an issue.  A replica purse costs less than a designer purse.  Another point with authentic designer handbags is the quality.  Yes, it is true, designers use high quality materials to make their products.  But that doesn’t mean replica handbags are of poor quality.  Of course, some are cheap.  I like to refer to that type of replica purse as a “knock-off” rather than a “replica.”  Designers such as Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, and Furla put extensive craftsmanship into their products, but…  Read more »

Have you ever wondered, “Should my purse match my shoes?”  Well, this article is going to address this question.  It comes down to the question, “Why?”  Why should handbags match purses?  Just because they are the same color isn’t reason enough in my book.  There is a rainbow of color out there; some colors go quite well together, and others are just not meant to be in close proximity.  Just look at the color wheel and you can see some interesting combinations.  Personally, I think the reason we were brought up with the idea of fashion purses have to match the dress shoes is because…  Read more »

Another name for Balenciaga Handbags is celebrity bags.  This is because they are really popular with many of the celebrities today.  Part of the reason for this is because these bags offer quality, style, and function.  The materials used are of the best quality.  They use goat leather which makes the purses have an identifiable look to them.  This, by the way, is part of what designers look for when creating items.  They want something that sets them apart from everyone else and is also recognizable.  These bags come with a pedigree.  Cristobal Balenciaga is considered…  Read more »

Cristobal Balenciaga is one of my new favorite fashion designers.  Although he is not new, actually he lived from January 21, 1895 until March 23, 1972, and became a famous designer in the early part of the twentieth century; he is relatively new to me.  Since I think he is so incredible, let me share with you a little bit about his history before we get into his beautiful Balenciaga handbags.

Guetaria is a Basque town in the Gipuzkoa region of Spain and the place where Cristobal Balenciaga was born.  Although the town is a fishing village, Cristobal chose… Read more »

Handbags come in many different shapes, sizes, and styles.  Some have been around for years and are considered classics; other styles have emerged relatively recently.  One such style is called backpack purses.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “form follows function?”  What that really means is what something looks like is not as important as its purpose.  Some people live by this concept, others disregard it totally.  And sometimes magic happens, and that is when form and function reach an equal level.  When this happens in the designer purse world you get Hobo handbags.

A hobo bag is different from a tote bag in that a tote does not close at the top.  Both bags are traditionally larger than a regular purse.  Both styles are popular, practical, and comfortable, thanks to their design.  Hobo bags look like the shape of a crescent roll and … Read more »

The purchase of authentic designer bags is a big investment, so make sure you get what you are paying for.  Don’t get fooled into purchasing a fake!  After all, this is a handbag you probably have seen in a store, or perhaps someone you admire owns one – maybe a TV or movie star, or other celebrity.  You have thought about, maybe even dreamed about the time you will finally be able to purchase this handbag.  Whether it is a Fendi or Burberry or whatever handbag designer name – make sure it is an original.  Once you get that bag home, do you want to always have that little voice inside of you saying, “Is it the real deal?  Is it a fake?”  Let’s try and reduce your anxiety and the possibility of this happening (and help you sleep at night!) by looking at some steps to take to ensure you are purchasing an authentic designer bag.

Wholesale designer purses become retail items in many stores that sell designer clothes.  However, a bargain can be found when looking for these handbags in online shops.

The premise behind anything “wholesale” is that they sell to the retail store which in turn sells it to the end-user – the consumer.  Distributors of wholesale purses bring the product from the manufacturer to the consumer sometimes with what is known as a retail outlet.  You may have one of these outlet “malls” near your home, or may have even visited one while on vacation.  They have become quite popular over the years.  This is because the consumer gets a better price than buying full retail, and the customer feels like they are getting quality designer items at a wholesale price.  When you realize that the focus of any manufacturer is…  Read more »
